Phoenix Wright, an up and coming defense attorney, is given a simplistic, yet hefty task for his first case: defend his best friend from elementary school in a murder trial. While he asked his boss, Mia Fey, to be put on the case due to the connection to the client, it would no doubt prove to be a difficult case for the first timer, due to the alibi given from the witness to the crime. Phoenix, however, confidently pointed out a major contradiction in the case, eventually leading to the witness being revealed as the true culprit. Things, however, would only escalade further in his career, as his very next case involved the murder of Mia, with her younger sister, Maya Fey, being placed as the defendant. What ensued was an uphill battle between Phoenix and the corrupt business owner Redd White, but Maya, using her family's spirit medium powers, channeled Mia, who threatened to blackmail Redd if he didn't confess to murdering her. Phoenix and Maya would afterwards form an unbreakable bond, working together on future cases, changing the Fey and Co. Law Office to the Wright and Co. Law Office.

''League of Legends'' has a lot of gameplay modes, but its most famous is a 5v5 game on a map called Summoner's Rift, that has three lanes—top, middle, and bottom—and tons of forest in between the lanes. The goal is to progress into enemy territory by destroying their turrets, followed by their inhibitors, and finally, destroying their nexus.
I will die on the hill that says this game is fun, because it is. The community has its own special circle of hell, though.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste are two French teenagers with unique powers: they each own a Miraculous (the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses, respectively) and its accompanying Kwami (Tikki and Plagg, respectively), allowing them to turn into the superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir. They are tasked with retrieving the Moth Miraculous from Gabriel Agreste, who, under his villainous identity of Hawk Moth, uses his Miraculous to give upset people powers and turn them into supervillains, on the condition that they bring him Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, as the merging of the two will grant the user one wish.
The catch is that no one knows who's who, despite it being painfully obvious, as well as Cat Noir being in love with Ladybug, and Marinette being in love with Adrien.

The Skull Heart is a powerful object, allowing any one woman a wish should they not destroy it, and reappearing after seven years should they do so. Wishes, however, are selfish by nature, so anyone who uses the Skull Heart for a wish is destined to become the next Skullgirl. ''Skullgirls'' follows a cast of characters—Filia, Cerebella, Peacock, Parasoul, Ms. Fortune, Painwheel, Valentine, Double, Squigly, Big Band, Fukua, Eliza, Beowulf, Robo-Fortune, Annie, and Umbrella—on their own path to either utilize or destroy the Skull Heart, with their different paths often intertwining with one another.

Hershel Layton is an archaeology professor at Gressenheller University in London, England, who frequently gets wrapped up in mysteries that are full of twists and turns that make for a really compelling story in every game. Each game is unique in terms of story (with occasional returning characters as well), and honestly, even trying to summarize ''one'' game would take a while.

''Rurouni Kenshin'' tells the story of Kenshin Himura, formerly the most dangerous assassin in all of Japan, now living a life of solitude by wandering as a "{{rollover|rurouni|The term is made up, but it essentially just means a wandering samurai|y}}". The series focuses on Kenshin trying to live his life as a rurouni who helps people and fights to make up for the wrongs he committed in his life previously, while dealing with returning figures from his past who bring him dangerously close to his previous ways of an assassin.
Also the creator got arrested for {{rollover|cheese pizza|You should know exactly what this means. (Hint: it doesn't actually mean cheese pizza.)|y}} in 2017. I don't condone his actions, but I can still enjoy the series, as there's such a thing as separating the art from the artist. I mean, how do you think fans of ''Harry Potter'' are still holding on?

I'm not even going to ''try'' to summarize the plot, because if you do, it takes a while. It's not difficult to understand (despite what others may insinuate), it just has a lot of unmissable details that are important to the overall story. If you do want a summary of the story (up to ''Kingdom Hearts III''), however, I recommend [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjiHufVEc7g this video]. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml5lDpJ5CgE This video] covers ''III''.)
In terms of how the game came to be, ''Super Mario 64'' had come out during development of ''Final Fantasy VII'', and Tetsuya Nomura wanted to make a game like it, but Square didn't think the idea could do well enough on its own without characters as iconic as Mario's, with the closest being anyone from Disney. Years later, when Shinji Hashimoto and Hironobu Sakaguchi were discussing a potential project that would have included Mickey Mouse, Nomura jumped at the chance to direct whatever it would have been. By sheer coincidence, Hashimoto happened to step into an elevator with a Disney executive (at the time, Square and Disney worked in the same building in Japan), and he was able to pitch the idea directly to Disney. They chose a crossover as a basic idea, eventually fleshing it out as a crossover between the cast of {{uv|Final Fantasy}} and various Disney films. Disney wanted Donald Duck to be the protagonist, while Square wanted Mickey Mouse, though Nomura shot both suggestions down in favor of creating the original character of Sora.

Jenny Wakeman was created to defend the city of Tremorton (and the rest of the Earth) from the alien race of the Cluster, who are also a bunch of robots for some reason, but all she really wants to do is go to high school and make friends, like a normal teenager. Kinda sucks that the show only lasted for three seasons.
